HORTICULTURE IN INDIANCONTEXT Agro-climatic conditions permit cultivation of all types ofhorticulture crops Contributes about 28% of GDP in agriculture from 13% ofarea Contributes about 37% of exports in agriculture An idealmeans for diversification in agriculture Multi-tier cropping possible, thus enhancing returns perunit of area Highest productivity in Grapes Higher productivity in Banana and Sapota compared toWorld Average Low productivity in Citrus Mango, Apple, Guava andPineapple Has potential for enhancing growth rate 07/08/09 5. Constraints facing Horticulture SectorFragmentation of land holdings Large area under old/ senile plantations Poor quality of seeds/ planting material and low rate ofreplacement of seeds/ cultivars Poor water management Economy of scales lacking Inadequate storage and cold chain High wastages of the produce (8-37%) Only 0.8% of produce is processed (as against 83% inMalaysia, 80% in South Africa, 65% in USA, 30% inThailand, 23% in China) Inadequate processing and marketing infrastructure 6.

Fruit Clusters- Key to Success Mango has maximum coverage in 203Districts, in 31 clusters in all 18 States Banana has the second largest coveragein 153 Districts, 22 clusters in 13 States Aonla has emerged as a potential cropbeing covered in 140 Districts, 20clusters in 13 States Citrus and Guava also being coveredextensively 13. Impact Case Study of Production &Productivity of Banana in Karnataka Out of 27 Districts in Karnataka, NHM being implementedin 21 Districts. Banana being cultivated in all 27 Districts. However,included for development in 10 Districts Comparison of data for 2007-08 w.r.t 2004-05 indicatethat: Area in NHM Districts has increased by 17% Production increased by 34% Productivity increased by 10% Production & productivity has marginally increased in NHMDistricts where banana was not a focus crop 07/08/09 14. Other Models Citrus in Haryana, M&A Plants in Chhattisgarh Development of citrus in conjunction with community tanks has enabled cluster based development of citrus in Sirsa Districts Development of Medicinal & Aromatic Plants in Chhattisgarh along with vermi compost units has enabled cluster development of M&A P with tie up for buy back by entrepreneurs 07/08/09 15.

Several such units have been approved in Seethamrpur District of AP and in Konkan region of Maharashtra. 07/08/09 22. GRAPE DEHYDRATION UNITS 07/08/09 23. Focus for PHM & Market Infrastructure So far, 1109 pack houses have been set up, mainly in the States of AP, Karnataka, MP, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and UP. Large number of cold storage have been sanctioned in UP. Wholesale markets for horticulture produce have been established at 35 locations and 174 rural markets have been set up. Many private entrepreneurs are showing interest in setting up wholesale markets in Karnataka and Gujarat. 07/08/09 24. NHM assisted Cold Chain Facility project by KAPPEC in Bijapur 07/08/09 25.
